This is a famous downhill for the pro skiers and having watched it on Ski Sunday we thought we should give it a look over. Bear in mind afterwards we got hold of a ski map and it was classified as a red !!
They are just nuts, you can go in the start hut and get their view, they launch off and complete first 160m of course in 8.5 secs by which time they are doing 100kph and need to turn sharp left to stay on the course. It takes 1.5 hours to hike down the path by the side of the course, the top skiers do it in just under 2 minutes.
Even the cable car is scary, it starts off ok before going nearly vertical up the side of a huge cliff. At least at the top there are some nice walks and brilliant views. However as the peaks are below 2000m there is no snow at this time of the year, it is just lovely & green.
